    And so that's where we leave things for tonight, with the action hotting up at both ends of the table across the English Football League.

    The fixtures come thick and fast and we'll be back tomorrow night for more fun and games in the Championship and beyond.

    For now though, thank you for joining us.

  4. Same top sixpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2021

    It's as you were position-wise at the top of the Championship, although Watford have given themselves a bit of a buffer to Swansea with that big win at Rotherham.

    Brentford will feel they threw away two points at Derby and are now five points off an automatic promotion place.

    Bournemouth are now just two points behind sixth-placed Barnsley following victory over Swansea.

    Bournemouth 3-0 Swansea

    All over and Bournemouth coast to victory over a listless Swansea.

    The Cherries keep up their efforts to break into the Championship play-offs.

    Swansea, meanwhile, miss the chance to put pressure on second-placed Watford, who move three points clear having thumped Rotherham earlier.

    GOAL: Bournemouth 3-0 Swanseapublished at 21:31 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2021

    Arnaut Danjuma (87 mins)

    Bournemouth are romping their way to victory against Swansea. Romping, I say!

    Arnaut Danjuma scores his 10th goal of the season as he fires in at a tight angle inside the box.

    Replays show, had there been VAR tonight, this one might have been disallowed, as he may have had a toe in an offside position.

    Bournemouth 2-0 Swansea

    To say this game is winding down is an understatement.

    Bournemouth look content to pass the ball about and Swansea aren't offering much in the way of a response.

    Five minutes left on the clock.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2021

    Bournemouth 2-0 Swansea

    10 minutes remain now and Swansea not looking like challenging Bournemouth's two-goal lead.

    Dominic Solanke shoots towards goal on the edge of the visitors' box and it's scuffed away, but he slices his foot against Kyle Naughton's shin.

    While there's a pause as Naughton is attended to, Conor Hourihane is replaced by Wayne Routledge for the Swans.

    Can Swansea get back into this game or are Bournemouth coasting to a comfortable victory thanks to their first half efforts?

    Bournemouth should be out of sight here as Cameron Carter-Vickers gets onto the end of a ball into the box.
